摘要: 当知晓自己和他人的表现,即自己与他人在某方面表现上的差距已经明确时,人们对自我-他人差异的知觉准确吗?本研究发现了差距知觉的泛化效应:人们将自身的绝对表现(自己的表现与零相比的结果)泛化到对自身相对表现(自己与他人相比的结果)的判断上。在7个研究中, 被试(N = 2766)得知自己的绝对表现和相对于他人的表现,并判断自己与他人之间的差距。结果显示,绝对获益时,人们在相对获益时感知到的自我-他人差距大于相对损失时;绝对损失时,人们在相对获益时感知到的自我-他人差距小于相对损失时;当泛化难以进行时,上述效应消失。研究揭示了差距知觉的泛化效应及其联结机制。

表1研究假设总结
相对表现 | 绝对表现 | |
---|---|---|
绝对获益 | 绝对损失 | |
相对获益 | 相对表现较好 “我比他(她)好很多” 较大的自我-他人差距 | 相对表现较差 “我比他(她)好不了多少” 较小的自我-他人差距 |
相对损失 | 相对表现较好 “我比他(她)差不了多少” 较小的自我-他人差距 | 相对表现较差 “我比他(她)差远了” 较大的自我-他人差距 |
